Lactose Intolerance during Pregnancy

Has anyone ever experienced lactose intolerance only when they
are pregnant? I think that is what I am experiecing right now,
but I can't find any information on web about it, any my doctor
is not familiar with this phenomenon. I don't need advice on
how to deal with it, I'm just curious if anyone ever had
lactose intolerance soley during pregnancy?

Hi,
I was lactose intolerant in my first and second trimesters. It
sucked, because I'm a cheese & ice cream freak. I found out that
I could eat yogurt (frozen too!) and harder cheeses, like
chedder, without upset. I got ''Earth Balance'' margarine from
Trader Joe's which in non GMO & relatively healthy for
Margarine and tastes a helluva lot like butter. I used soy milk
when I needed milk (for tea & cereal), and by my third trimester
I could handle small doses of real ice cream! Just test yourself
and your tolerance. It does get easier.

What a drag! I had just the opposite; pregnancy was when my
lactose intolerance went away. However, as someone who suffers
from this all the time, I can suggest 1) staying away from high-
fat dairy (whole milk, cream, etc.), as nonfat options seem to
effect me less, and 2) do not underestimate the value of Lactaid
pills/products. I don't think the milk tastes very good, but
the pills are a wonder, and you can get the cheaper store-brand
versions, which work very well. Costco has them the cheapest.
But you may have to take more than one pill per meal. You'll
figure it out fast... Good luck!

I had a temporary lactose intolerance, which made me very sick,
just after giving birth, which was somehow pregnancy related.
Lasted about a month. My midwife and my GP both said that it
is more typical when pregnant. Hopefully it won't last. Good
luck!
